At IMB we do not sell or provide your
personal information to third parties so that they can fill your
inbox with junk mail. No one will contact you other than the staff
at IMB. Your privacy is safe with us.
Please review our complete privacy policy below for a more detailed
explanation.
IMB values the privacy of our visitors/customers and takes every
known precaution to safe guard the information we collect from
unauthorized use. The following is a detailed explanation of the
privacy policy for IMB.
WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
IMB believes it is important for you to know what types of
information we collect when you use our site. We employ various
methods for collecting information. To begin with, we use "cookies"
that are needed to compile aggregate non-personally identifiable
information about the visitors to our web site. Personally
identifiable information consists of information that is unique to
you, such as credit card numbers, bank accounts, social security
numbers, home address, email address and the like. This is the type
of information that most people consider private and deem the most
important to protect from unauthorized access. Non-personally
identifiable information most often consists of things such as your
search preferences, the types of products you have bought, how many
times you have visited a particular web site, etc. This type of
information is usually associated with a particular computer or IP
address but not with a particular person. "Cookies" are pieces of
information generated by a Web server and stored in the user's
computer, ready for future access. Each time you access our web
site; our server finds the relevant cookie on your computer. The
information contained within that cookie is then used to customize
your experience with our site. The following is a list of the
information we collect: name, shipping address, billing address,
credit card information, email address.
WHY DO WE COLLECT THIS INFORMATION?
We use this information in order to serve the needs of our
customers. We need to know who you are in order to verify the credit
card information you have sent us. We collect several pieces of
personal information from you in order to complete this verification
process. The non-personal information that we collect from you is
used in order to offer you better service and to make your
experience with our site more enjoyable. Any information that we may
inadvertently collect from you, that does not serve one of these
reasons stated above, is immediately purged from our system.
HOW IS YOUR INFORMATION PROTECTED?
We use the latest in encryption technology, including 128 bit SSL
encryption to ensure that any sensitive information that is sent by
you to us via the Internet is protected from unauthorized
interception. We employ the latest in firewall protection to prevent
unauthorized access into our information storage areas. We maintain
a rigorous hiring process to screen out potential employees with
criminal backgrounds. All employees that we do hire have to sign a
confidentiality agreement that forbids them from disclosing any
information to which the employee has access, to other individuals
or entities. We also have back up servers and power supplies to
guard against power outages and other natural occurrences that could
pose a threat to the integrity of your personal information.
Passwords are required in order for you to gain access to your
account. Once an account has been terminated, measures are taken to
remove those users from the system who no longer need access to our
system. When an employee is terminated or is no longer with the
company, we change the access codes that the employee used to access
any customer accounts. Passwords must contain at least six
characters. Passwords are case sensitive and should be updated every
90 days. Unused customer accounts, those that have shown no activity
for 12 months are purged from our system.
WHO HAS ACCESS TO MY INFORMATION?
Only those employees that are responsible for handling your account
have access to your information. Additionally, employees in our
technical department may have access to your information in order to
conduct routine checks on the integrity of our system and in order
to perform necessary maintenance work. In order to process your
credit card we have to consult with an out side credit card
processing company. These processing companies are regulated by the
banking industry and must meet certain security requirements in
order to be in business. The processing companies will have access
to your credit card information, billing address, name, and possibly
your telephone number. The processing company will communicate with
the issuing bank of your credit card in order to get final approval
to charge your credit card for the product or services we are
providing for you. Should you choose to receive additional
information regarding one of our services or products, we may pass
your email address to one of our partners who offers similar
products or services that you might be interested in. Additionally,
judicial requests by a duly authorized court will require us to
divulge certain information regarding your account should that
situation arise. Finally, should our company ever be bought or sold,
your account information would then become the property of the new
owner/entity.
CAN I CORRECT OR REMOVE INFORMATION FROM YOUR SITE?
You always have the option to view your account to make sure the
information we have collected from you is indeed correct. You also
have the option of removing any information from your account that
you wish to keep private. However, please note that removing certain
information such as your email address, contact information, and the
like may greatly hinder our ability to effectively provide the
service or products you have requested. We recommend, that you
contact us first to discuss which information you may remove without
interrupting the quality of service we intend to provide for you.
CAN I OPT OUT OF HAVING CERTAIN INFORMATION COLLECTED?
You have the option of disabling your computer's ability to accept
or transmit cookies. This will prevent us from gathering certain
non-personally identifiable information from you. We do have an
email distribution program for special promotions, etc. that you can
opt out of by changing the setting in your account. We will contact
you via email for normal communication necessary to approve your
project. We will not sell or supply your email to other companies
that may send you promotional emails.
NOTICE OF CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time.
However, if any changes do occur, we will publish the changes to our
web site and post a notice on the home page that a new privacy
policy has been implemented. We will also take reasonable steps to
contact you personally to let you know of the new changes. Should
the company be bought or sold to someone else, we will take
reasonable steps to notify you personally. You will then be given
the option to keep your account open or to terminate.
